| Effect of early-life protein supplementation on childhood obesity and related metabolic outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
There is limited evidence of any impact of protein quantity or quality during complementary feeding on growth or body composition. Given the short-lasting exposures and follow-up times, the long-term metabolic effects of protein supplementation require further investigation. |
| Optimal anthropometric discharge criteria from treatment of wasting: meta-analysis of individual patient data from 34 studies.
Relapse risk is high after successful MAM/SAM treatment. Future research can consider optimization of anthropometric discharge criteria as a strategy to reduce postdischarge relapse risk, weighing the operational and financial tradeoffs associated with any modification. |
| Inflamm Bowel Dis |
| Risk Factors and Management of Incomplete Microscopic Colitis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Patients with MCi share similar characteristics with full MC including demographics, risk factors, and response to therapy, indicating that the histologic criteria for MC should potentially be broadened. |
| The Risk of Relapse Associated With Discontinuation of 5-Aminosalicylates in Inflammatory Bowel Diseases: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
The discontinuation of oral or rectal 5-ASA monotherapy in patients with UC is associated with an increased risk of relapse. The data for discontinuation of 5-ASA in patients with UC or CD who are on immunomodulators and/or biologics is marginal for a meta-analysis; considering this limitation, these patients do not seem to have an increased risk of relapse upon discontinuation of 5-ASA, suggesting that monitored withdrawal may be a viable strategy. |
| J Crohns Colitis |
| Apples and Oranges? Comparison of Early Ileocolic Resection and Medical Treatment for Crohn's Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis. |
| Efficacy of 5-Aminosalicylic Acid Continuation versus Discontinuation in Patients with Ulcerative Colitis Escalated to Advanced Therapy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Adjusted Effect Estimates.
In patients with UC escalated to advanced therapies, 5-ASA continuation was associated with decreased odds of achieving clinical remission compared to discontinuation, with no significant differences observed for secondary efficacy or safety endpoints. |
| The global leadership initiative on malnutrition criteria for the diagnosis of malnutrition in patients with inflammatory bowel disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
The GLIM criteria demonstrate potential as an effective tool for diagnosing malnutrition in patients with IBD. However, further validation is necessary, requiring additional diagnostic accuracy studies to enhance their reliability and establish their clinical applicability. |

| Development and validation of a brief Nutrition Security Screener (NSS) for clinical and public health settings.
A brief NSS enables assessment of NI prevalence and barriers to healthy eating in diverse populations, and is independently associated with diet-related disease, informing clinical, public health, and policy efforts to screen for and address NI. |
| Eating Rate has Sustained Effects on Energy Intake from Ultra-Processed Diets: A Two-Week Ad Libitum Dietary Randomized Controlled Cross-over Trial.
Food texture-derived ER has a significant and sustained effect on energy intake of ultra-processed diets over a two-week period. This finding highlights the importance of food texture in guiding ER and the central role of sensory cues in regulating meal size. Clinical trial registry ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier NCT06113146. |
| Gut microbes related to the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension score are associated with bone quantity but not with bone quality in a cross-sectional study of older Puerto Rican adults.
DASH score was associated with hip BMD, but not with BMSi or TBS. Select diet-related gut microbes, and an inflammation score were associated with BMD. Future studies should examine dietary inflammation in relation to bone quality. |
| Language Models in Nutrition and Dietetics: A Scoping Review.
In conclusion, this is an emerging area with limited evidence for real-world implementations or domain-specific models in nutrition and dietetics. Future work is required in real-world settings to strengthen this evidence base and to broaden it to incorporate the views of nutritionists, dietitians, people with medical conditions, and the general public. |
| Male partner pesticide residue exposure from fruit and vegetable intake in relation to outcomes of infertility treatment: a prospective cohort study.
Intake of FVs with high pesticide residue in males is associated with adverse infertility treatment outcomes with ART, particularly in conventional insemination cycles. Implications for natural fertility are unclear. |
| Post-malnutrition weight gain is associated with changes to muscle and energy metabolism in adolescence: a cohort analysis.
Individuals with greater PMWG exhibited lower muscle-related metabolites and altered energy metabolism in adolescence. It remains unclear whether this reflects inherent differences in how individuals gain weight, or whether early-life weight gain programs future metabolic states. Elucidating these mechanisms will inform interventions to ameliorate long-term health risks, an urgent priority following the growing double burden of malnutrition in low- and middle-income countries. |
| Proteomics Networks Linking Diet to Cardiometabolic Risk Factors: The Framingham Heart Study.
Our findings highlight proteomic networks potentially linking diet and CVD risk and demonstrate the usefulness of proteomics for identifying high-risk individuals for future interventions. |
| Reduction in Sugar Intake after the Introduction of Minimum Unit Pricing for Alcohol in Scotland: a Difference-in-Differences Analysis.
MUP in Scotland is associated with small, but beneficial, statistically significant reductions in the purchase of sugar. There is no significant change in overall diet quality. |
| What Is "Healthy" Food? A Cross-Sectional Evaluation of Foods and Beverages Consumed by US Adults That Satisfy the US Food and Drug Administration's Updated "Healthy" Claim Criteria.
Findings suggest few foods met "healthy" criteria. Moderate correlations between "healthy" criteria, Nova, and validated nutrient profiling models provide evidence of convergent validity, yet underscore the challenge of classifying foods by healthfulness, and highlight uncertainty about whether discrepancies reflect real differences in model performance and food healthfulness. |

| Clinical Response for 12 Months or More to the First Advanced Therapy is Associated with a Significant Decrease in the Long-Term Risk of Hospitalization: A Nation-Wide Analysis of Patients From the UK Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) BioResource.
Treatment response to the first advanced treatment initiated is significantly associated with a lower long-term risk of hospitalization for IBD. Choosing the best therapy the first time may improve long-term outcomes. |
| Efficacy of Consistency Versus Switching of Biologics for Prevention of Postoperative Recurrence in Crohn's Disease: A Multicenter Real-World Retrospective Study.
In CD patients with preoperative biologic exposure, both continuing and switching biologic therapy postoperatively were effective in preventing ER, with switching showing improved endoscopic outcomes after adjustment for confounders. |
| Intestinal Ultrasound for Monitoring Postoperative Crohn's Disease: A Review and Visual Atlas.
This review provides practical guidance for identifying the ileocolic anastomosis and its key sonographic landmarks. It also outlines techniques for assessing the anastomosis with grayscale IUS and discusses strategies for integrating IUS into routine postoperative surveillance of CD. |
| Low Rates of Surgical Recurrence Following Ileocolic Resections for Crohn's Disease in the Biologic Era.
The rate of SR at the ileocolic anastomosis in this large Australian cohort was low, recorded to be 1 in 20 at 5 years. Smoking remains the strongest risk factor for both ER and SR. Histopathological factors influence ER and should be considered in future risk prediction models. |
| Shared Genetic Basis Between Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and Inflammatory Bowel Disease in East Asian Ancestry: A Genome-Wide Cross-trait Analysis.
The major histocompatibility complex region emerges as a critical hub for shared genetic correlations and pleiotropic effects in SLE-IBD pathogenesis. Gene-level enrichment analyses implicate chemokine and lipid binding as underlying shared biological mechanisms. |
| Short Ileal Microvillus Length Phenotype Associates with Progression from Inflammatory to Complicated Disease Behavior in Pediatric Crohn's Disease.
Short ileal MVL is associated with the development of complicated disease behaviors in pediatric CD, supporting the potential use of this histological phenotype as a biomarker for CD prognosis. |

| Cumulative Incidence and Risk Factors for Advanced Neoplasia following Inflammatory Bowel Disease-Related Low-Grade Dysplasia: A Danish Nationwide Cohort Study.
Among Danish individuals with IBD-related LGD, the overall 15-year cumulative incidence of subsequent HGD or CRC was 6.3% and has declined markedly over time. In addition to established risk factors, including age, IBD duration, family history of colorectal cancer, and elevated faecal calprotectin, we found that high-dose prednisone use was associated with an increased risk. |
| Inflammatory Bowel Disease therapies and Demyelinating Diseases: A Practical Guide to Therapeutic Benefit and Risk.
It proposes a practical framework for clinicians, addressing management strategies for patients with confirmed MS, those at increased risk, and individuals who develop neurological symptoms during treatment. In the absence of formal guidelines, multidisciplinary collaboration, early recognition of symptoms, and careful treatment selection are important to optimise both gastrointestinal and neurological outcomes. |
| Real-world evaluation of MRI fistula volume as a radiological biomarker of disease activity in perianal fistulising crohn's disease.
MRI fistula volume is associated with pfCD class and disease trajectory. Volume thresholds are associated with classification shifts and clinical response, supporting their potential as objective quantitative tools. Prospective multicentre validation is warranted. |

| Correlation between immune biomarkers and surrogate markers of severity of Acute Pancreatitis in an HIV endemic region.
Distinct immune signatures correlate with AP severity and are significantly influenced by HIV status. IL-15 outperformed IL-6, TNF-α, IL-17, and MCP-1 in people without HIV, whereas TNF-α was the only predictor of severity in PLWH. Higher thresholds for prediction of severity in PLWH underscore the need for HIV-specific biomarker thresholds and further research into tailored severity stratification, and development of immunomodulating therapies in AP. |
| FBXO22-mediated ubiquitination of KLF10 promoting pancreatic cancer proliferation and invasion.
FBXO22 promotes pancreatic cancer progression by mediating KLF10 ubiquitination and degradation, thereby impairing its tumor-suppressive functions. FBXO22 may serve as a potential oncogenic and therapeutic target associated with pancreatic cancer progression. |
| Serum autoantibody signatures enable non-invasive early detection of pancreatic cancer.
Our findings indicated that the rondom froest model based on five autoantibodies might help identify preclinical and early-stage PC. |
